There is a huge difference between the two, so if you end up buying one, don't expect the same experience. This blog post can help you to have a better understanding about this issue: How to Choose a Vaporizer: Vaporizer high or Smoking high?

What Are the Benefits Of Vaping Weed?

Efficiency

It's one of the most efficient way to smoke weed. You could stretch out your marijuana consumption over a longer period of time if you were properly using your vaporizer. Within a year or less, depending on your usage, you will save a lot of money on your bud. Already Vaped Bud (AVB) can be reused several time and eventually make edibles with it. Important note; DO NOT smoke your AVB.

No toxins from combustion

If you are a regular smoker, you know that pain in your chest that comes from smoking too many joints. You may feel it the next day, or an hour afterwards. All the resins and smoking particulars and toxins depositing in your lungs. It's uncomfortable, and not fun. Vaping cannabis provide almost a non-combustion experience and can get rid of all those harmful aspects, simply because with vaping wed, you're not burning the herb itself, there be, close to, no tar. As a result, you get, as most vaporents call it, a 'cleaner' high.

Better for your Lungs

I use the treadmill on daily bases, and since I switched to vaping, I've realized that I don't get winded as fast as I used to when I smoked the old fashion way.

A simple experiment I've done, I just smoked a blunt and exhaled into a napkin, it quickly turned into brown from tar residue. I repeated the same experiment but with a vaporizer, I saw almost no discoloring. To be clear, I'm not saying vaping is completely harmless, but it's way less harmful for your lungs than smoking.

Produce less smell

Vapor doesn't smell nearly as strong or as far as smoke and dissipates much more quickly. Joints stink. Blunts stink, bongs and pipes can be even worse. Vaping marijuana doesn't completely eliminate smell, but in my experience, although the smell is still identifiable, but it's quite different and less than when you smoke the herb. Also, the smell from vaporizing your weed lingers around less, weed smoke can stick around for days, while weed vapor tends not to smell after about 20 minutes.

If you're still worried about the smell, I recommend vaping near a fan pointing out a window, just in case. If this is not enough, you can use a homemade sploof.

Enhance your high

The vaporizers' high does feel a bit different comparing to smoking high. You will be still smoking weed, but it's not quite the same experience a smoking it with slightly different flavor. It's more of a head-high, however, it may feel a bit different at varying temperatures. Check our blog post about the different between vaporizer high and smoking high here.

Once you get the hang of your vaporizer, it's strong, even the worst weed will get you high AF. Sometimes you will miss a bong hit, but there is not problem switching every now and then, but when you come back to your vaporizer, you will understand why vaping weed can be superior. The high also last longer. Way longer.

Discreet and less Conspicuous

It is less conspicuous. You might also consider exploring options like the Smoke Buddy, fans running with towel under the door, etc. However, The pricier and the better on-demand quick extraction vaporizers tend to be relatively large, so not as discreet as you want them to be, but they're still portable and hit way better.

Better flavor

You know when you take a bong hit and get the hint of different flavors from different strains and quality weed hiding behind that nasty smoke/tar in the smoke, well after you start vaping for some time, you will see the light.

Less harsh, less cough

Vapor is still hot, but not as hot as the smoke. Once you make the switch, you will realize how comfortable and easy vaping comparing to smoking, not only on your lungs, but also on your throat. Also, the elimination of combustion lessens the lungs and throat irritation.

However, if you're using higher tempreture, vape can be harsher at times, it's why some vaporizers come with glass attachments, or some vaporents vape using their vaporizers and a bong to cool the vape down and reduce vapor dryness. Most dry herb vaporizers either include or have available bong adapters, WPA (water pipe adapter), so no need to give up your favorite blong/water pipe.

Conclusion

One more time, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. A lot of vaporents love for example The Pax, mainly for it's look and portability, however, for the money I've spent, you will be better off with other vaporizers.

If you can't afford getting a good one now, save up, do your research, and get the best you can, because otherwise you won't use it.

I have smoked cannabis for over fifty years. When I was younger in the 1960’s and 70’s, smoking marijuana was incredibly fun, it was a social activity and a political statement of sorts. Marijuana should be legalized. (I must acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of people who have been cruelly incarcerated for possession of minor amounts of pot.)

Only over the past few years, and after much study, I have discovered the health benefits of CBD, CBG and THC. I have cancer, chronic pain and neuropathy and would be in tough shape if I did not have access to cannabis. I am pleased that New York State has medical marijuana. The NYS legislature recently came close to legalizing pot. “Just Do It!”

I am grateful to think that future generations may not have to endure marijuana prohibition. We are only beginning to gain a modern understanding of the vast beneficial health effects of cannabis. Humanity has enjoyed health benefits from cannabis for centuries. It is time to fully acknowledge that truth! Thanks!

As an over 65 cannabis user for mostly health benefits, I find vaping particularly suited to my more simplified lifestyle. When I first started using cannabis again after decades away from it, I had no interest in smoking it and was only interested in edible oils or tinctures. Then a younger friend invited me to try it just once and see what I thought. I made the mistake of treating like a joint and over inhaled and had a serious cough fit and wondered why I would want to do vaping. Then several months later, I had the chance to try again and took a much smaller inhale, what I’ve come to call small sips, holding it in my mouth briefly then exhaling out my nose. This method of use works great for me. I am now using vaping more than any other form of use. I move between vaping oil and herb depending on the desired effect of the various strains and combo CBD products that I use for managing the physical and mental symptoms of the auto-immune condition that I am treating. Cannabis has been a game changer for me in that process.
